Happy Fodder’s Day??

Well, to anyone employed in the cattle feed industry, Happy Fodder’s Day. Why fodder feeders get a national day of recognition is beyond me, but who am I to throw stones?

Although, maybe I could get a national Happy Stone Throwers Day, if it caught steam…

So, what is the big deal with fodder? If I look to the “source of all reliable knowledge”, Wikipedia defines fodder as “In agriculture, fodder or animal feed is any foodstuff that is used specifically to feed domesticated livestock, such as cattle, goats, sheep, horses, chickens and pigs.”

Wow. Charlie and Cornelius should get wind of this. Maybe a parade is in order…
Foster The Fodder!! Foster Farms!!

What I don’t get is the amount of cards that are available for sale, for Fodder’s Day. You can buy a Fodder’s Day card for sons, daughters - even wives can buy a Fodder’s Day card. Is livestock feed really that big a deal?

I would have considered fodder a niche market, frankly - although there are lots of farms around the world, so maybe it is bigger than I make it out to be.

Does that make me a bad fodder? Fodder, can you hear me? Hello Mudder, Hello Fodder…

Ouch!

Again, for all you fodders out there, get out of the house, and have yourself a Happy Fodder’s Day!!

Chow for now!!
